Riding the motorcycle E Running-in precautions Max. engine speed (fig. 27) Rpm limits to be observed during the running-in period and in normal use: 1) Up to 1000 km; 2) From 1000 to 2500 km. From 1000 to 2500 km Up to 1000 km Up to 1000 km During the first 1000 km, keep an eye on the tachometer. The revs should never exceed: 5.500÷6.000 rpm. During the first hours of riding, it is advisable to continuously vary the load on the engine and the rpm, though still keeping within the above limits. For this reason, roads with numerous bends and hilly areas are ideal for running in the engine, brakes and suspension. For the first 100 km, use the brakes gently. Do not brake violently or keep brake applied for too long. This will enable a correct break-in of friction material on brake pads against brake discs. To allow all the mechanical moving parts in the motorcycle to adapt to one another, and to avoid shortening the life of the main engine components, it is advisable to avoid sudden acceleration and running the engine at high rpm for too long, especially uphill. It is also advisable to check the drive chain frequently and ensure that it is lubricated as required. From 1000 to 2500 km You can take more power from the engine, but you should never go above 7000 rpm. MIN -1 x 1000 TOT AMPM TRIP ¡C ¡F fig. 27 34
